Patient's question:
I had a tubal cannulation procedure today, December 26, 2005. The fallopian tubes are unobstructed. There was a small amount of bleeding after the surgery. Is this normal? How long after the surgery can I have sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, hydrotubation involves injecting liquid into the uterine cavity using a catheter. The volume and surface area of the uterine cavity are much larger than the cross-sectional area of the catheter and the fallopian tube lumen. According to the principles of fluid dynamics, pressure equals force divided by area. Therefore, the pressure of the liquid injected into the fallopian tubes is very limited. Hydrotubation has severe limitations and cannot help doctors understand the condition and location of your fallopian tube blockage. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) can clearly reveal the condition and location of your fallopian tube blockage, which facilitates treatment by doctors. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment at a formal infertility specialty hospital, follow your doctor's advice, and avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Wishing you good luck with your pregnancy.
